Junction Comics

First time out to Whitby FanCon and thoroughly impressed with the show. A great time was had by all. Found some time to have a little fun too.  

Wayside Comics and Cocktails summer series of creator spotlights have been a great opportunity to meet local comic creators. So, when the prospect came about to participate and meet new and old readers, I jumped at the chance.  

  To celebrate five years of self-publishing comics, Junction Comics Group has decided to have some fun throughout our great city of Toronto. We'll be having a series of scavenger hunts right across the city. Watch the video to find the prize at our first hiding spot.

  If you're up in the are of Newmarket, ON. then head on over to Wayside Comics and Cocktails for...well...some comics and cocktails. An awesome place to read and buy comics, talk comics while sipping a fine cocktail, and perhaps meet a local comic creator - they're always stopping by to say 'hi'. Find your copy of Daryn's Drawings at Wayside Comics and Cocktails.

Looking for quality books for young readers? Then head down to Little Island Comics (next door to The Beguiling) in Toronto, for a diverse collection of exciting reading material for kids of any age. Dropped off a few signed copies of Daryn's Drawings.  

As always, FBDM/MCAF was amazing. Merci Montreal. Looking forward to FBDM/MCAF 2025.

  You too can get a copy of Daryn' Drawings. Just head on over to junctioncomics.square.site to order your copy. We'll also be attending a number of conventions and comic art fairs this year. 

  I'm incredibly honoured to have been once again nominated for an award that celebrates that amazing work produced by the independent comic book community in Canada.  The Gathering Place has been nominated for Best Comic Book for 2020. I am really honoured to have had this issue of the series included amongest an incredible list of comic books released in 2020. It was the first book to have both my sons assist me with the production. Thank you to  Sequential Magazine , Brendan Montgomery Editor in Chief, and Strange Adventures Comics and Curiosities.

  Looking forward to the new year.  Proud to release the images of the cover designs for the third issue of The Gathering Place - let me know what you think.  You can preview the interior artwork  here .  More good news to come!   

 It's been quite the incredible year.  Too many "Ups and Downs" to mention but forever grateful to have gone through those experiences and to be here now.   Just received this year's family Christmas cards from the printer and thought I'd post these cards from the past few years.  Hopefully they put a smile on your face as they do mine.  Should be rather easy to spot my influences. 2020 2019 2018

 I'm proud to say that work on the second issue of The Gathering Place is just about complete.  Here are two images I was considering for the cover - I decided to use both of them.  You can find preview pages The Gathering Place tab .  Stay tuned for more exciting news.

  I'm proud to announce that alongside  Page and Panel: The TCAF Shop ,  The Beguiling , and  Silver Snails  in Toronto, you may now find The Gathering Place at  Gotham Central  in Mississauga  (signed copies available)   and at  Big B Comics  on Lundy's Lane in Niagara Falls.

 As we come to the end of Summer, I thought that I would share some great news about The Gathering Place book. Back in May, I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Vancouver and officially launch The Gathering Place at the Vancouver Comic Arts Festival.  It was my first time in Vancouver, and had the most amazing experience at VanCAF.  Made some new friends and received great feedback for The Gathering Place.  Sketch covers were so terribly popular that I spent the weekend drawing. Also in May, I had an incredible time the Christie Pits Art Crawl.  It was great to go back to my old neighbourhood to showcase The Gathering Place, and have old friends and neighbours come out to show their support.
